As an Associate Business Development Manager at XYZ Corp, I currently lead a diverse team of six professionals, which includes sales, market research, and customer service roles. My approach to leadership heavily centers on fostering open communication, encouraging team collaboration, and building a supportive environment that stimulates professional growth.
One clear example of this approach was during a major project, where our goal was to expand our business operations into new regional markets. I led the team through the full cycle of this initiative, starting with market research and analysis, then strategy formulation, and finally implementation.
My leadership facilitated the team to work seamlessly across different functions, resulting in us securing prominent business partnerships within the new market. Our successful expansion and a 15% revenue increase in this new region were largely attributed to the team's concerted efforts. Thus, my leadership contributed significantly to our business's expansion goals.
